Yaw Rate And Lateral Acceleration Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor provides the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module with inputs of yaw rate and lateral acceleration.

The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor is installed under the center console and secured to the transmission tunnel with two bolts.

When the ignition switch is in position II, the yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor receives an ignition power feed from the central junction box (CJB). The sensor is self diagnosed by the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module and can be interrogated using T4. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) module broadcasts the yaw rate and lateral acceleration values, on the high speed controller area network (CAN) bus, for use by other systems.

The anti-lock brake system (ABS) module monitors the yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor for faults. If a fault is detected the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module stores a related fault code and illuminates the DSC warning indicator. Also, a warning chime sounds and a message advising of an HDC fault is shown in the message center. Refer to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER .
